HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div
“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain!” Philippians 1:21
Death will not be gained to me — unless my life is lived for Christ!
It must be my passion to know Christ. Every day I ought to learn a little more about Him and His truths. Every day I ought to become somewhat more conversant with His will. In His school, it is impossible for me ever to finish my education, for . . .
there is so much to learn,
- there are such mysteries to master,
- there are such heights to scale!
It must be my ambition to follow Christ:
- Jesus going about doing good in the Galilean fields;
- Jesus praying on the cold mountains;
Jesus bowing to the Father’s will in the garden and on the cross —
He is to be my Pattern, my Model, whom I set deliberately before me.
It must be my joy to speak with Christ. I should always be lifting up my heart to Him. I should keep telling Him . . .
my every thought,
my every desire,
my every misgiving and fear.
Between friends so close and true — there must be no reservations, no secrets.
It must be my longing to serve Christ. Though I cannot do it in a conspicuous sphere — yet, up to the farthest verge and limit of my ability, I will labour for Him. And I rejoice to remember that mere show and public ministry count for nothing with Him — the humble and loving heart is everything.
And then, and then, death will be gained indeed! Then, when He calls me home — I shall go to Him with the gladness of a boy bounding home from school!
